Re: I need advice on my next setup.. My heads have 63cc chambers and my pistons are JE flat tops with 2cc valve reliefs.. John you mentioned 3.55's.. I would have to get a 12 bolt fore sure if I do that.. I was thinking of going back to 3.42's or maybe 3.73's for this next setup.. Ok.. You guys have convinced me to stay stock cubes.. Now I am not changing my mind about going custom turbo.. Why did Raymer go with the PTE74 w/ a q-trim ?
Re: I need advice on my next setup.. Yes but raymer's car has cubes....Go for the 397..sell me your old shortblock 
have TEA use your stage 1's and convert them to stage 2's as well as the FI chamber job...throw a T101 on it and get a F.A.S.T. system..and call it a job well done 
everyone is using t-76's and little turbo's like that...go for a 91mm or t101..do something nobody has done yet..I live near you..and I will give you $1,500.00 cash for your shortblock now (no oil pump,timing chaim,cam ect..just want your shortblock! lol) I am wanting to run a G5X2 cam with my current head's and a 200 shot...but I cant fit the G5X2 with my S2 head's without releif's..plus a 200 shot wouldnt last long on my already damaged pistons 
so lemme know man lol I am in need of a shortblock..and some competition around these part's 
go 397 man..you would have KILLER number's below the curve as opposed to a 346...and besides..there is no replacement for displacement..ecxept for boost..but what if you had both

Re: I need advice on my next setup.. I'd like to see more folks build 346ci - 348ci FI motors I think we can do a lot with these motors, the mod 4.6 stangers are running 8's and 9's and they also have a 3.900 bore.
Vince, put some good rods in your current 346, get another pair of heads and open up the chambers, slap a single on there and enjoy eating some Supra's on the bridge.

Re: I need advice on my next setup.. I was just messin, still I wonder what it takes for a supra to take on a H/C nitrous ls1.
As far as Vince's question, I have no idea. From research, it looks like the biggest concern is keeping the heads from lifting.

Re: I need advice on my next setup.. OK . . . at what RPM do rods become critical? I want to build my bottom end up and have seen a couple say don't bother with rods as long as you keep the rpms down. How low is down??
